Now we take our time, so nonchalant
And spend our nights so bon vivant
We dress our days in silken robes

The money comes
The money goes
We know it's all a passing phase


We light our lamps for atmosphere
And hang our hopes on chandeliers

We're going wrong, we're gaining weight
We're sleeping long and far too late
And so it's time to change our ways

But I've loved these days

Now as we indulge in things refined

We hide our hearts from harder times
A string of pearls, a foreign car
Oh we can only go so far

On caviar and cabernet

We drown our doubts in dry champagne

And soothe our souls with fine cocaine
I don't know why I even care
We'll get so high and get nowhere

We'll have to change our jaded ways
But I've loved these days


So before we end and then begin
We'll drink a toast to how it's been
A few more hours to be complete

A few more nights on satin sheets
A few more times that I can say
I've loved these days
